Moreover, the resolution of EMC/EMI issues must take in high volume and complex manufacturing process with the Goal to balance EMC/EMI requirements with market-based vehicle usage, as in our case HBAN and VBAN. 15.6a does not intend to address all these items and issues. We would like to use the knowledge base on these issues: EMI is been categorized into four areas: conducted & radiated emissions, and conducted & radiated susceptibility; with their specific compliance standards and limits Submission Slide 14 T.Kobayashi, M.Kim, M.
